Pretty amazing! I am still trying to get a sense of how big this M2 will be. For a truly unique form of "Remote Control," maybe you could train a dog to follow hand signals to drive it.

And most of them are flatheads which are annoying as hell...:) Can't wait to see it all done.

And countersunk, trying to get them all to seat properly is a real pain
